Lazy week

I have been ridiculously lazy this week... then again, it hasn't been the happiest week for me.

I did get some reading done. I finished Artemis Fowl, and I've probably read a quarter, or nearly a quarter, of Twilight. I have even more things to pick up from the library - two knitting books (!!!), the Oxford Guide to Literary Britain and Irelend (that'll be cool), a Historical Atlas of Toronto, a book on the Great Depression (by the one and only Pierre Berton!)and three CDs (a Bryan Adams compilation called So Far So Good, a Pink Floyd album called Ummagumma, and the Monterey International Pop Festival album). I also have another knitting book in transit.

And I'm still waiting on that darn Peter Gabriel album! Whoever has it out is taking their sweet time.

I watched a documentary I'm borrowing from the library. It's about the Beatles film Magical Mystery Tour. I thought it was the actual film I was borrowing. But the documentary was okay. It and the Elton John DVD are overdue, so I have to go to the library tomorrow.

Why is it that all my library holds are arriving in groups of at least five lately?!

As I mentioned in my latest Facebook note, I find it funny when the music I'm listening to goes good with the book I'm reading. Like today, I was reading Twilight, and at the part where Bella is in the forest behind her dad's house, I'm listening to R.E.M. I also find it funny - and odd - that I tend to listen to the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack when I read Twilight :p

I feel better

My cold seems to have gone for the most part, which is great. So thank you, Sarah, for wishing me well :)

I'm feeling so relaxed right now, because it's raining. Rain has such a calming effect on me.

So, my day has gone pretty well. I watched the rest of Gilmore Girls, I read quite a bit of the second Artemis Fowl book, and I listened to The Jeff Healey Band's See The Light, which is a pretty awesome album. Only one track skipped! I also watched Coronation Street earlier, and I read The Arctic Incident (the second Artemis Fowl book) during commercials, and sometimes during scenes that didn't require my undivided attention.

Back to the rain... I walked upstairs a little while ago, and I felt a lovely breeze, and I could smell that familiar rainy smell. You know, the smell of damp earth. Man, I love that smell! I can't really smell it as much in here, probably because the ceiling fan is running. But just the sound of the rain is fantastic.
